Ever had a good topic fail?

Both of my movie reviews were quickly drowned out. It is frustrating, I agree, when you put a lot of work into something, and it gets ignored for other topics.
But don't try to tempt fate. I got put on probation for bumping my own thread too much. Just let it lie and move on.

A thread about final fantasy versus XIII failed pretty hard. Only two responses. If we're accepting reviews too then my inFamous review failed pretty hard, no comments and 7 views, of which five were me.
I had two topics, one was about bad games to play while drunk and game inspired drinks, and one about game inspired food. They both appear to have just kinda...died. I am much happier with my "best track in gaming music" topic, over 100 replies! Yaa!
So apparently people on the escapist play games, but don't eat or drink

I remember that thread fondly.HG131 said:
Mainly as it was one of the first threads I posted in a few times.
OT: Nope.
None of my topics have ever been good. Seriously, looking back now, the most successful topic I had was a thing about post counts that got to 90 replies before it was sunk. And it wasn't a good topic to begin with. I did get a thread with 124 replies though. Shame it got locked and then deleted but that is life, I guess.
that just made me laugh so hard, lol, im sorry, but dont worry ill postdfcrackhead said:
op: i think something on movies, dont know what though
My thread with the most replies was about song lyrics. Wasn't even a particularly good thread, and afterwards I didn't even like my opening post. I kinda wished I got my first "hot topic" badge on something more worthy, especially as any other thread I had before it tanked hard. Oh well, such is life I guess.
My Favorite Elite Four thread earned me a couple o' badges, but the rest put my mood in the shitter...
That is because you are the derailer of threads, your gift is also your curse.TheNamlessGuy said:
I have this happen to me too many times, it has really made me stop making threads. I always worry my threads aren't clever enough and i just don't bother with them anymore.
Not really, I made one this morning that got 13 posts total and it's been dead since (3 were mine)...dfcrackhead said:

And I may have a second one on my hands in one day...

It's even harder when you took some time to think about it...

My first topic, a poll on people's favorite party member in Dragon Age, got me two sweet badges and some good discussion going. My other three threads weren't as succesful, but the first two, dealing with the Wii, at least got people thinking and talking. My latest one bombed but I wasn't really expecting it to get anywhere.
